That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me this year.

After Mrs Granite had hormone issues I did some reading up on things and full fat milk is a huge source of iodine which is important for hormone control.Jimmy Choo wrote: Fri Apr 05, 2019 12:46 pmNot being dead is rather good and I highly recommend it.

I've realised that my physical and mental state has deteriorated in line with my hormone levels going up the spout. Realising that I'm having mild hallucinations again (stuff moving in the corner of my vision when there's nothing there, some very pretty but not real rainbow flashes on the locus of my windscreen wipers) was a bit of a worry. Still, my concentration is good and I've not got brain fog, so that's nice.
@JL - cannot believe you missed this although presumably you were distracted by all the man love aimed at Alex.Rich B wrote: Fri Apr 05, 2019 8:21 am I see the “wrapped in cotton wool” thing at nursery sometimes when I pick my little boy up, they’ll apologise that he’s covered in mud or has a bruise or something, as if I’d be angry at them! My usual response is something like “cool, that means he’s been having fun - plenty more to come!”
With the whole “meeting friends” thing, it is difficult as an adult. Some company’s are clearly set up for integrating new team members socially, some just aren’t.
I think the only real way is through a hobby/club. Most of my “new” friends have come through mountain biking. -I’m not in any club, we just end up chatting to people and eventually they become part of the group. Though if it was reversed I’m not sure if I’d know how to be that person integrating with my group!

So as I’m now a fully qualified (it was at least 5 pages I read) then I prescribe proper milk from now on and none of that semi-skimmed pish.
This fixing people is easy peasy.

As to your assertion of remaining aloof from parenthood how long after your lad was spawned did you post pics on here again???![]()

That's what we said when his appendix was rotting inside him too. Good job he went to hospital in the end!

Yes. I've literally just been discharged from the Mental Health team 3 weeks ago as I'd finished the (pretty much useless) online CBT course. This current bout is being driven by my ADHD/RSD: paranoia and thinking the worst.JLv3.0 wrote: Mon Apr 15, 2019 11:25 amBack to the doc then.NotoriousREV wrote: Mon Apr 15, 2019 10:42 am Struggling again.
